Some of the most memorable moments in Lions’ history come on Thanksgiving Day.

Without the benefit of big moments on the NFL’s playoff stage, the Michigan holiday tradition will have to do.

In typical Lions’ fashion, it’s often an adventure: Think Phil Luckett and Jerome Bettis, Jim Schwartz challenging, and Vince Evans and the one-play overtime in 1980. But no matter what, there’s probably turkey afterward, so it can’t be all bad.

1. Tough turnaround

Chicago hosted Minnesota in the Sunday night game and then have just three days between an earlier-than-usual kickoff on Thursday afternoon, with travel to Detroit mixed in to the 85 hours (and 5 minutes) in between games.

So much for player safety.

You might excuse the Bears, who aren’t even watching film of Sunday’s win against Minnesota until this weekend, for looking beat up — even a shortage of motivation against a Detroit team they just manhandled.

2. Revenge factor

You might recall a recent trip to Chicago didn’t go so well for the Lions.

4. Shouldering the load?

Trubisky has been known to be inaccurate every now and then and the injury can’t help, if he's able to play. With Darius Slay back in the lineup after Chicago missed him last time around, the Detroit secondary should feast.

Or, if Trubisky can’t go, backup quarterback Chase Daniel could get his third career start and first since 2014. He has one career touchdown pass and one interception.

Thursday, leading a likely playoff team on national television, could be the biggest day of his career.

5. Tony time

The Lions are usually on FOX with the network holding rights to nearly every NFC game.

But since Thanksgiving features an all-NFC slate, the Lions land on CBS, which means Tony Romo will call his first Lions’ game.

The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback has been praised for his work on games since joining Jim Nantz in the booth at the beginning of last season.

He’s known for calling out audibles of plays pre-snap, so we’ll see how he reads Jim Bob Cooter’s offense.
